The Art of folding paper "Origami"

Today I thought about preparing a little craft work, I saw this interesting contest and was thinking what is the best I can prepare. I have some colourful craft papers that I had from school time and they are still lying there, that is why I thought why not, just see if you can use it in more creative way instead of just keeping them on shelf to collect dust.

One of the popular craft works done using paper is origami, that is an art of folding paper, originally it comes from Japan and often we can find amazing creative creations and that I bet might take a long time to complete to such perfection. I think like in anything that we do practice on regular basis can bring your skills to best results. The same time it always requires patience and time. Do not expect that you will be able complex creation in very short time and important is do not give up. Everyone can learn but we all need different time scale for reaching the same result.

When I think about origami I remember the art lesson in my school, the first what we tried was a bird, we did it from simple white paper from our school block note, maybe because it was soft and easy to fold. We children had a lot of fun and also laugh because despite of same folding we had different shape and form birds but all of them were great, because we all did our best and created our first origami. Then few weeks later we had parents evening and I remember how the teacher gave to our parents the creation of us, children. It was fun to see the faces of our parents, some of them we delighted if the bird was done as it should be. The others were a bit confused seeing funny shape but still they were also very proud of their children, because of the attempt to create the paper folded bird.

Origami "Fox"

Let's start with choosing paper, I had this craft paper that is in orange colour that fits very well to my origami because I decided to do little fox and we know that fox is an animal that mostly known to have orange colour fur.

I have measured a square, it was 24x24 cm, so that I cut off hte excessive length

The next is to fold from one angle to another and then the other two ends too.

The we fold in half, after that half fold again in half.

Now turn the little triangle the way that the free edges are there you can form a head of fox. So bend one edge 90 degree to form ear and that should be exact size like the other edge so that it looks like two ears.
